Sell Your House Without A Realtor

Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses in Seattle that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

At Good As Sold Home Buyers, we aren’t in business to make a big profit from the homeowners we help. We do, however, want fair prices for the houses we purchase. As such, we will try our best to provide you with an initial offer within your price range and aim to close quickly once the deal is signed (although there are no guarantees). In addition to our no-obligation pricing commitment, we don’t require any downtime on your part before submitting an offer – meaning you can move forward with our offer right away!

Great question, and we’re an open book: We believe in thorough research and evaluation before purchasing any property. The location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the house, and its comparable values sold recently are just a few of the factors we consider when evaluating a home for purchase.

This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house:

Every step of the way, selling your house should be a smooth process. From the moment you list to closing, we’ll work hard to get it done right and quickly. We do not charge any fees or commissions and are committed to total transparency throughout the process. You’ll know exactly what is being paid by us in each stage of the sale, so there are no surprises at all. There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the house from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments… and often with cash in your hand).

Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).

There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
